Building America Celebrates Near Completion of Straight & Narrow Project

November 18, 2025

Building America celebrated the near completion of the brand-new Straight & Narrow rehabilitation facility, a state-of-the-art center that will bring hope, healing, and a fresh start to individuals and families in recovery.

AFL-CIO Housing Investment subsidiary, Building America CDE, is proud to support this $32.9 million, union-built project with an $11 million allocation of New Markets Tax Credits.

Receiving the Fr. Norman James O’Connor Award was a humbling and meaningful moment for Building America CEO, Harpreet Peleg, who shared how deeply we value Catholic Charities’ life-changing work across the country.

Congratulations to all the evening’s honorees, including Paul and Anne Krump, Rev. Msgr. John E. Hart, and Rev. Owen B. Moran.
